Yeah finding it doesn't really work as intended. I tried this 96k album and it switched from 44 to 48. As I was typing this, it changed to 96. I then skipped to the next track (which is also 96k) and the app changed my output back to 48k (and now its back to 96k after 30 seconds of being wrong).

So...bugs....

Yep, getting the same thing.

im using the comments on github to help, he put out a new beta so hopefully this eventually gets sorted

found that 96k goes to 48k but 192k works fine, albeit everything has a 1 second skip in it as its checking, which hopefully eventually gets resolved

192k always revolves to 48k for me on my M1 Mac.

The numbers doesn't change so fast in the menu bar, but my external DAC switches the sample rate immediately.

So that means the bit rate change is effectively working and is applied to the DAC but just not correctly displayed in the app?

I use Apple Music lossless with my Mac and iPhone using the FiiO BTR5, with the USB-c cable for Mac, and with their LT-LT1 USB type-c to Lightning data cable with iPhone and my Beyerdynamic T5 3rd gen. Sounds great to me.
Would I get any upgrade if I switch to using a DAP that supports Apple Music lossless? Like the FiiO M11 Plus?

I think you will. After having been using Apple Music lossless on iPhone and Mac I was pleasantly surprised that it sounds even better on Fiio M11 Plus ESS. Not to mention that the Fiio supports APTX and the iPhone does not.

The question is how mobile you want to be.
24/96 is I think the highest sample rate you can find in Apple Music and almost all DAPs / DACs should be supporting that rate nowadays.
Of course your headphones should scale with better gear and it's up to your purse how far you want to go.
There are fabulous DAPs meanwhile catching up with desktop gear like FIIO M17 and DX300 Max or Cayin N8 II but if you don't need portability you can drive your headphones best with desktop gear price performance wise, whereas the ratio is gravitating to desktop gear with more demanding headphones

Apple has many 24/192 tracks. My favourite album , Pink Floyd Pulse is 24/192 in its entirety

Doesn't change the fact that the phones scale wurh better gear and almost all DACs can do 24/192 too

I agree……just pointing out that Apple Music offers tracks with a higher sample rate than the 24/96
